  1. No, you look it up. You're telling me they're not uncommon. Prove to me they're no uncommon.
  2. When was the last recorded high wind warning in the Los Angeles Basin?
  3. I think your physics might be a tad bit rusty, old man.
  4. That's funny. I live here and I can't recall the last time we had a high wind warning in the basin.
  5. Really? So high winds are normal in Los Angeles?
  6. Tell me more. As you can see, there's very clearly a ridge running through the center of those barren hills. Are you saying the wind carried those embers over a ridge to drop them on that neighborhood?
  7. No shifting the goal posts Kenny. Where in that picture is a forest where a fire can start and send embers into the neighborhood?
  8. What woods? Where was there a forest near the area where the Palisades fire started?
  9. What kindling would there be in a suburban tract?
  10. Is he? I saw him in LA every day of the fire.
  11. We’re talking climate change. You said it had no bearing on wind direction.
  12. Why would Gavin Newsome be on the AC Boardwalk?
  13. I beg to disagree. Would the fire have spread if they were coming off the ocean?
  14. You came! Tell us more about where Santa Ana winds come from. Aren’t they usually out of the east, southeast?
  15. I guess there isn’t much to burn in Mays Landing, except for the trash that gets dropped there.
  16. Where you at @smiradenius? Nothing to say now?
  17. Alright @smiradenius - let's discuss all the reasons you have no idea what you're talking about. The winds that generated and propelled this fire are the result of shifting global weather patterns. When the atmosphere heats up, so do the oceans. When the oceans heat up, they impact how and where energy in atmosphere distributes. The fires in LA did not happen in an area with there was brush, they happened in suburban tracts. This is a result of extreme winds, irrespective of the source. Water infrastructure is one of the first things impacted by a wildfire. It doesn't matter how much water is stored in reserve. When a wild fire is spread rapidly, no water system ever conceived could provide enough water fast enough to properly address a raging fire on multiple fronts. This is why water and repellant drops by aircraft are usually the first and best means of stopping a wild fire spread.
